GOP Rep. Bacon: "I do think this was a PR disaster for the White House. When you tell everybody you're going to release everything, that you have the names of all the clients, and then you then you come back and say, 'oh, there was none.' This was a self-inflicted wound by the White House."

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

Saw our neighbor walking the dog this morning. We talked about how cold it is today.

He said he told his wife she has to get the winter coats out of storage. Meanwhile, he’s wearing shorts.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

A woman who lives in Dubai & never actually watches the BBC tells us who should be its next Director General.😳
She then tells us who should be chief of an NHS she never uses. Not only that, she comments about Govt. departments that don’t actually govern her!

There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

Sunday was about a lot more than the shutdown.

It was a chance to deliver a strong one-two punch to fascism, coming off the heels of the elections.

The GOP would have bent once they had to ground the planes.

As always, the dems missed what's really going on.

And we're not even getting healthcare
